I’m a Celebrity: When were the South Africa contestants on the show and how did they do?
Image
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is back for the show’s first-ever All Stars series.

Starring former I’m a Celebrity campmates, this special series is set in South Africa and will see the returning contestants reunite for a new set of extra-gruelling challenges.

Ant and Dec will reprise their roles as hosts.

Among the returning contestants are both winners, finalists and early exiters, all of whom made an impact when they first appeared in the jungle.

Let’s look back at their previous times in the jungle...

Amir Khan

Boxer Khan appeared on the 17th series of I’m a Celebrity in 2017, during which he placed fifth.

He competed in five Bushtucker Trials, but was most known for “strawberry gate”, where he convinced Iain Lee that they should eat the strawberries and cream they won in the Dingo Dollar challenge, rather than sharing them with the camp.

Jill Scott at an event for Steel Magnolias (2012)
Jill Scott had to be seen by a medic after a cockroach got stuck in her ear onI’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.

Thursday’s episode (17 November) featured a fairground-themed Bushtucker Trial voted for by campmates rather than the public.

But rather than competing for meals, the contestants were competing to get their names entered more times in a tombola, the prize of which was a “big beach barbecue bonanza”.

Mike Tindall, Owen Warner and Jill Scott took part in the challenge, with Tindall explaining: “Myself and Jill haven’t done a trial, and Owen is so hungry he’ll do anything.”

At the “Scareground”, Lioness Scott’s trial saw her surrounded by meal worms and cockroaches in the Unlucky Dip.

As the challenge came to an end, Scott called out: “I’ve got a cockroach right in my ear.”

Antenatal Cinema: Films For Parents-To-Be
A few months back, I found out the wonderful news that I am going to be a father. Over recent weeks I have found that my curiosity to re-visit pregnancy based films has grown. It has become very apparent to me that this is a topic rife for discovery, but generally falls into the same sort of brackets – fear of what will come. After watching and hearing my wife go through endless weeks of morning / all day sickness, I can understand why most film-makers pick up on the scary side of the gestation period. But there are also so many wonderful parts of the process. After paying a bit of attention, and seeing mine and my wife’s own experiences reflected on celluloid, I have noticed that despite their similarities, there are some clear divides within the overall ‘experiences’ of the Hollywood birthing process.

Below is a collection of films which all revolve around pregnancy.

British comedian Freddie Starr has been hospitalised after suffering a severe allergic reaction while competing on U.K. series I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The funnyman fell ill after participating in a so-called ''greasy spoon'' challenge as part of the show, which is filmed in the Australian rainforest.

He was removed from the set and admitted to a hospital to undergo tests.

A spokesperson for the ITV network confirms, "Freddie Starr was taken unwell in the jungle. He was immediately attended to by on-site medics and taken to hospital where he was assessed by doctors.

"He will remain in hospital overnight as a precaution, and further tests continue. However, Freddie is in great spirits and keeping nursing staff entertained."

McFly rocker Dougie Poynter, model/actress Lorraine Chase, former jockey Willie Carson and Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread are among the other stars competing in the programme.
